Understanding Tensors

Tensors serve as the fundamental building blocks for data manipulation and computation in deep learning frameworks like PyTorch. This chapter delves into the concept of tensors, exploring their structure, operations, and significance in machine learning.

You will begin by understanding what tensors are, how they extend the notion of vectors and matrices, and why they are crucial for building scalable deep learning models. As you progress, you'll learn to create tensors in PyTorch and manipulate these multidimensional arrays with ease. Key operations such as reshaping, slicing, and performing mathematical computations will be covered, enabling you to handle data efficiently.

The chapter will also guide you through the intricacies of tensor operations, highlighting how PyTorch's dynamic computational graph facilitates flexible model design and efficient backpropagation. By the end, you'll have a solid grasp of tensors, ready to apply these concepts in constructing and optimizing your neural networks. Harness the power of tensors and elevate your PyTorch skills.
